Citizenship Application returned - processing time

[lischt13]

Hi, i have applied for Citizenship in July 2025, and got my application returned last month due to an issue in my wife’s language proficiency proof. We updated with the correct information and resubmitted the application.

Its been 1 month and I have not received any new update. Does anyone know if our application is expected to be back to the end of the line, or will continue from where it was?

What was the issue? Did you try to prove that her degree back home was taught in English. Because that's what we are planning to do but want to see if that actually works with them?

No, that wasn’t the case. We made a silly mistake. She was attending a Canadian college by then and we attached a letter of proof of enrollment + course schedule for the semester, but we forgot her transcripts.
We got our AOR now and is processing.

An updated physical presence calculator would reflect more days in Canada, which would help specially if you submitted with fewer buffer days.
